On a $q$-Skew Amitsur's Theorem
Abstract
Let $R$ be an algebra over an uncountable field, $\sigma$ a locally torsion automorphism and $\delta$ a locally nilpotent left $\sigma$-derivation such that $q\sigma\delta = \delta\sigma$, where $q$ is a nonzero scalar. We show that the constant part of the Jacobson radical of the Ore extension $R[x;\sigma,\delta]$ is nil. This partially answers a question of Greenfeld, Smoktunowicz and Ziembowski posed in 2019. As a corollary, we employ Shin's 2024 result to prove a q-skew Amitsur's theorem whenever the field is additionally assumed to be of characteristic zero. That is, the Jacobson radical of $R[x;\sigma, \delta]$ is $N[x;\sigma,\delta]$ for some nil ideal $N$ of $R$.
